I am getting an error upon my local Galaxy startup which I suspect is causing an invalid tool runner entry in my left hand menu (my tool url is: http://localhost:8081/tool_runner/index instead of http://localhost:8081/tool_runner?tool_id=FLASHforFASTQ) Here is the error I get: galaxy.tools DEBUG 2012-03-28 13:48:28,658 Loading section: MyTools galaxy.tools DEBUG 2012-03-28 13:48:28,665 Loaded tool: sam_to_bam_QT 0.0.1 galaxy.tools DEBUG 2012-03-28 13:48:28,671 Loaded tool: BAMtoFASTQ 0.01 galaxy.tools.test DEBUG 2012-03-28 13:48:28,677 Error in add_param for readleft: Unable to determine parameter type of test input 'readleft'.
